Abstract

See full text

An active pixel image sensor includes a photodiode structure which enables high near-infrared modulation transfer function and high quantum efficiency, with low pinning voltage for a medium- to large-size pixel. The photodiode includes a shallow photodiode region and a deep photodiode region both of a first dopant type, where the length of the shallow photodiode region is larger than the length of the deep photodiode region; and a shallow depleting region and a deep depleting region both of a second dopant type. The deep depleting region surrounds the deep photodiode region on at least two opposite sides.
